Jets backup quarterback Tyrod Taylor will miss the rest of the preseason after recently having a surgical procedure done on his knee.

New York Jets backup quarterback Tyrod Taylor will miss the remainder of the preseason after undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery. The hope is that Taylor will be available for New York's regular-season opener against the visiting Pittsburgh Steelers.

Tyrod Taylor’s absence has the Jets rummaging for a veteran quarterback. With just Adrian Martinez and rookie Brady Cook — neither of whom has taken an NFL regular-season snap — available behind Justin Fields and two games to play in the next eight days, the Jets had C.J. Beathard and Nathan Peterman in for tryouts Thursday.
